Web Application Engineer | Logistic Start-up Company

【ABOUT THE COMPANY】

The company is a last mile x AI tech startup located in Nagoya, Japan.
It started its business in June 2015 and is developing a system that can create optimal delivery routes by AI.
With the core technology of "combinatorial optimization" being researched and developed at Nagoya University, which is regarded as one of the best in the world, the company is developing services with the mission of optimizing the world's last mile, aiming to optimize not only the delivery of goods, but also the movement of people and even entire cities.

Revolutionizing Logistics
For the logistics delivery planning problem of "which vehicle should go to which destination and in which order", the company uses a original algorithm to calculate the optimal vehicle dispatch and delivery route, and provides this service as a SaaS service.
Data collected through the driver app's GPS is learned by AI, leading to more optimized route analysis.
The current situation is that cargo volume is increasing due to the development of e-commerce and there is a shortage of drivers.

By establishing an efficient delivery system, the company contributes to resolving issues such as manpower shortages and declining profitability due to the complexity of deliveries.

■About the Products
The system targets a wide range of industries, including home delivery companies directly connected to end users in the "last one mile," food delivery, liquor sales, pharmaceutical wholesalers, food wholesalers, vending machine vendors, and human transportation such as on-demand buses, ride-sharing, and home healthcare.
The company is focusing on both the technical and business aspects to expand its services.
